Tasting notes
I believe the 2001 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard is the first vintage where Larry Turley and winemaker Ehren Jordan controlled everything from viticulture to winemaking. Made from extremely old vines, it is a deep ruby-colored Zinfandel boasting a big, briery, sweet bouquet, considerable glycerin and flesh (15.5% alcohol), and a southern Rhone-like pepper, garrigue, and spice component. Fleshy, full-bodied, and hedonistic, it should be consumed over the next 2-4 years. Tel. (707) 963-0940
